Great Attorney!

I was referred to Patricia by a friend whom she had represented and Patricia came highly recommended and she did not disappoint. She was extremely knowledgeable and answered my questions thoughtfully and with understanding considering how difficult this time in my life was for me. She made sure I kne...w what to expect during each aspect of our proceedings and she made it a priority to try and reach a fair settlement before ultimately having to go to trial. She was very prepared when it came down to it and ultimately the outcome was positive and I was very happy with the final dissolution/custody agreement. Hopefully I'll never need her services again but I have and will continue to recommend her to anyone I know who needs a family law attorney.

No time spent on my case

Apparently Patricia thought we had an open and shut case and she was wrong. I tried to get her to prepare for what was to come and she did not listen to me. Her approach prior to retaining her seemed agressive and she basically did nothing!

I'm sorry anyone would feel this way about my representation. I try to make sure clients understand that there is a range of outcomes possible, and let clients make decisions regarding a course of action. Sometimes unexpected circumstances and/or conflicting versions of facts can come up. I'm not sure who this could be who feels this way.

Excellent Attorney

This attorney got my husband full custody of his son. She did her du-diligence to make sure he was worthy and then went full force to make sure justice prevailed. I have referred her to numeous people and she is consistant. If you need a family attorney, I would hire Patricia, I promise you will n...ot be disappointed. She will tell you exactly how it is! I personally had another matter that she whipped out so fast, consistantly had the ball in my court to move forward. She does what she says she is going to do.
